Student Feedback for Paz

Paz has provided me with some of the best feedback I’ve ever received on my writing. Even in early stages of a project she is able to identify key unanswered questions that inspired me and drove me forward in my subsequent drafts. Her comments are focused, identifying the most important areas to address, instead of providing a laundry list of comments. Finally, Paz has this gift of offering both love and encouragement with her direct, honest and insightful feedback. Working with her is always rigorous, exhilarating and full of joy. George Bazett
